Can steemit make a honest woman out of me? You decide XOXO
Hello everybody @steemithotparis here,
Seen as I have not yet officially introduced myself yet I though I would have a little fun with the idea. The truth is I came here with a strippers mentality, and that's OK because I am actually a stripper in real life. Yes you read correctly I take my cloths off for a living! if you read any of my previous posts you will know what I am talking about. Love me, Hate me it's all fair and good.
The below picture has been photo shopped a little to look like a portrait, my friend gabby is here with me helping out with things. We are having a little fun and she is teaching me adobe. We will be signing Gabby up with steemit after this post I think :-) Before we continue have a look at the pic below and let me know if you think it is really me?
Ok ok so is it me? For now you will never know, but please keep on reading I have a good reason I promise. It was a trick to get your attention. keep on reading I will explain I promise!
Today I am writing with a slightly different attitude. Let me explain... like the above picture and after my last post was flagged and berried in a steemit pile of nothing, I realized posting as my other self, a fake like the image above , as my working dancing self for lack of better words I was not going to make it here on steemit.
This is because I might act like I enjoy what I do and come across as a tough cookie but it's really not me. I am not a bad person I have just made bad decisions and that's OK! If I actually enjoyed being a stripper then sure I realize now my previous posts would have possibly been more popular.
So after my last post disaster I stuck around reading and learning what I could to see the steemit community could possibly help me with something. Ya ya people are making money around here trust me I noticed and I think we all have.
This got me to thinking, would it be possible for me to make enough money on steemit to stop stripping? This has become a fantasy of mine and brings me more joy than you could ever imagine! I cried when I realized I have a chance to finally maybe, one day, when a person asks what I do for a living say...... I blog for a living!
I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I could earn money doing something like this. Don't get me wrong I am educated and completely capable person, I just have never been able to find my way really, I guess.
Now here is my big question? Can steemit help make a honest woman out of me? Could I earn enough around here to make a living and take complete control of my life? I believe with steemit I now can! I live in South Africa and with the current exchange rates it seems very doable when I see what people are earning around here. Hell if I got one post that made $5000 usd I could do this for a whole year!
Obviously I realize it is not going to happen over night but I think I understand now what steemit is about and how I might be able to earn just by being myself, having fun and being involved!
I would like to also just mention that today I was going to abandon this steemit account and start again with a new account but I realized I would once again be heading in the wrong direction. However if I come clean and prove to everyone on steemit I can change, and I do in fact want to change, then it would be no problem leaving my horrible previous posts as a testament and reminder to what I am trying to achieve.
Now here is what I am going to do if I get enough support! If the steemit community can convince me, I am prepared to truly reveal and verify myself by picture in my working outfit. Don't worry I already have the pic it's completly family safe I promise. Turning over a new leaf remeber ;-) I am hoping this will help me raise funds to quite dancing , it's all I have to offer really a picture of my last day I work as a working girl.
The reason I won't reveal my real self now is because I feel if I put my heart and soul into it and nothing happens I will just die! It will just end up being another berried post that is found once every now and then and because of this I would be very embarrassed. The dancing girl who thought she could blog, man I am out of my comfort zone here, freaking out now. Deep breath and off we go again im all good!
Well there it is I have made my piece on steemit. At least I know this was my best attempt and if it gets berried that's ok. I would like to give credit to a tutorial that gave me some incite into posting as I think it will help others as it helped me learn about gripping content and images.
The tutorial in question: https://steemit.com/tutorial/@virtashare/steemit-tutorial-how-to-display-any-image-in-your-steemit-add-title-working-with-images-and-more
Luv you all xo Paris.
P.s hopefully next time I will use my real name.
I can relate in many ways with your story....I sell drugs, I am in the same boat. I need something in my life to be proud of, and hopefully let me quit risking my life. I shot an up-vote. I will follow you, you are welcome to follow me too.
Thank you sooo much you beautiful ray of sunshine! I will most definitely follow! People just don't get it! I worked now for almost 4 day's on this post it was not easy for me. Thank you so much for your support we are people to.
Great thanks for the flag, I did my best and that just completely shot me down. So much for steemit I guess
Wow what a response! It's true that a little genuine honest content can go a long way on steemit! Super excited now got 8 votes so fast... sqweeeek!
I gave you an upvote but whether others will do too is a questionmark. The order is the reverse of this - naturally. If my upvote wasn't 2 cents but 200$, I wouldn't do it.
Why? Because obviously this is the internet. Anyone can claim anything. Should they get paid for it? If the answer is yes, it's just promoting scammy behavior. The order is clearly verify first - vote second, and there's an excellent reason for it (to prevent abuse / scams).
Thanks
